                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, accept our thanks and praise for Your goodness. Thank 
You for challenging work and for the satisfaction of a job well done.
  Lord, we are grateful also for disappointments and failures that 
teach us to depend on You.
  Continue to bless our Senators. Give them Your spirit that they may 
make You known in thoughts, words, and actions. Remind them to strive 
to glorify You in deeds both large and small. Keep them from stumbling 
or slipping so one day they will stand before You with great joy.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
